“You made it perfect”: IFU translation for a vein visualization device company
Why Language Scientific?
Based in Medford, NY, AccuVein manufactures laser-based vein visualization devices.
After a sub-par experience with a previous medical translation provider, AccuVein needed a new partner to translate their instructions for use (IFUs) into 10 languages.
AccuVein’s main need: a language services company with regulatory compliance experience in the European Union. With a 99.7% on-time delivery record, commitment to medical-grade accuracy, and experience managing complex, multilingual medical device projects, Language Scientific emerged as the obvious choice.
The Problem
AccuVein produces real-time vein-viewing systems; medical devices that use near-infrared technology to display an image of a patient’s veins on the skin. This helps clinicians avoid veins to minimize bruising during cosmetic procedures, and makes IV starts and blood draws faster and safer.
AccuVein’s challenges included:
- A poor experience with a previous translation provider
- EU regulatory compliance expectations
- One set of instructions for use (IFUs) to be translated into 10 languages
- Document formatting for specific jurisdictions
